PA-10: Long lines again at York County election office on last day to request mail-in ballot

Voters were lined up again at the York County Administrative Center on Tuesday to cast their votes, with about 50 people waiting outside at one point just to drop their completed ballots in the outdoor collection box.

Tuesday at 5 p.m. was the deadline to request a mail-in ballot in-person or online, as well as the deadline to take advantage of early in-person voting, in which voters could apply for their ballot at the elections office, then fill it out on the spot and submit it.

York County Commissioner Julie Wheeler said there was a steady stream of people lined up Tuesday inside the elections office, but she had good news for those who are nervous about making it to the front of the line in time.

"For anyone that is in line by 5 o'clock, we will ensure that we process their request for a mail-in ballot," Wheeler said.

To help streamline the process, Wheeler said employees from the elections office combed the line and provided voters with paperwork so they could start filling out and submitting their applications while they wait.
